Not so much the quantity, as the quality of Devotion, acc••ptable to God. [ LXI]
IT is said of Saul,* 1.1Duobus annis regnavit, that he reigned two years over Israel,
when notwithstanding, according to the computation of men, he reigned twen∣ty;
but the Scripture reckons onely upon the dates of grace,* 1.2 not counting those at
all which either went before, or followed after. A Musitician is commended,
non tam multum, sed tam bene, not that he played so long, but that he played so
well. And thus it is, not the daies of our life, but the goodnesse of our life; not the
length of our prayers, but the fervency of our prayers; not the measure of our pro∣fession,
but the sincerity of our profession, that is acceptable unto God Al∣mighty.
